  1. You're right mate, and so is Al. My single cab with no tool storage was a PITA though, but the DC was a mistake I'm stuck with. I'll sort a new back out and stick with it though, as it's been good mechanically. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  2. Mine is ally! Double cab, like. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  3. Mark 7 cab layout is much nicer, dash mounted gearstick and well thought out storage duckets. 6-speed box as well, my mk6 is only 5. I doubt you'll find a mark 6 in good nick now, the backs tend to rot out even faster than the sills. I need a new back pretty urgently. Good trucks though, despite shocking legal load capacity. I was on the bridge last week empty, 2 labs and tools in the cab 2820kg.
  4. Not guilty mate. I never talk to you about stress. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  5. It's an insult to climbers to suggest you could train anyone up to do it. Any physically fit grafter could have a fair go at it, but there's not many get good at it, at least as an all-rounder. In my prime I was alright. In good weather. On dismantles. A fair few climbers out there are ok, but apart from the gun freelancers I use its quicker doing it myself. Few are willing to serve the time at a lower wage. Stevie, the only time I made £400/day as a contract climber was taking down some TPO Oaks in Kensington at night for some huge Russian Mafia bloke. And I had to let him and his bodyguards bum me afterwards. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  9. All the time. No, tried a mates and liked the action. Plus I use one in a non recommended application all the time. I've got a lot to live for you know. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

  14. I thought FB arb groups were to ridicule each other's work, throw out ridiculously cheap prices, threaten each other and sell broken and stolen kit? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  15. I think you've answered your own question Stefan. No point being the richest man in the graveyard. That will be Newton. He's a coke dealer. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
